With the SDCC drawing to a close, the Titanium Line looks set to EXPLODE in the coming year! I have added a total of 26 ships to this update- 25 were confirmed in pictures from the SDCC while the other 1 was confirmed by SirSteve's forumite itsme (the Gold Millennium Falcon)

Here's the definitive list of the 3" Titaniums as of 7/23/06- minus the obvious Date Stamps from the Galoob Line and such :) I am also making this list for those that are curious about the ships as compared to the old Die-Cast line.

A list of the CONFIRMED Ultra Titanium 6" line AND the Titanium Series Die-Cast figures can be found at the bottom of this post!

This list covers Wal-Mart Exclusives Waves 1-4, the first 4 5-packs, and MASS RETAIL Edition Waves 1-10, Toyfair 2006 ships that were pictured, the 2006 Titanium Promo Checklist/Flyer included with the Ultra Titanium Series ships AND the ships displayed at the San Diego Comic Con that occured during July of 2006.

The Battlestar Galactica Titaniums are out and their variations will not be listed here! So if you wonder why MASS RETAIL Waves 6 and so on look so small it's because the rest of the case was filled with BSG Titaniums! I'll just be listing Star Wars Titanium Series releases from now on- but I will put the BSG releases in the waves (only) for reference. I will not list Wave Revisions, though new ships might be released in those revisions- keep that in mind!

If I miss anything, let me know :) This will be ordered for the Titanium Series in their respective wave- the Galoob counterparts (if any) will be mentioned :)

A word about the Titanium Series painted logos...

So far I have seen pics of one on a Mass Retail Wave 1 Republic Assault Cruiser and that's it. I have read enough reports of them being on the White TIE Fighter that I believe them, too. I do not know where they would be on a Speeder Bike, Clone Turbo Tank, Death Star or on Jango Fett's Slave 1. Until such time these variations are confirmed they will NOT be listed! The painted logos are, for all intents and purposes, VERY rare at this point, and a nightmare to completists.

The paint lines at the end of the variations refer to the words "Star Wars" on the stands- either Rainbow Silver, Silver or None.

LEGEND:

Wave X WM EXCL Edition= Wal-Mart Exclusive release packaging with STAR WARS being prominent. There were 4 waves- the last Wal-Mart wave with the Wookie Flyer, Green Jedi Star Fighter, Naboo Royal Starship and Battle-Ravaged Millennium Falcon was NOT widely released in the United States but it was released overseas (Hong Kong, Singapore, English-Only packaging) and in Canada (with Tri-Lingual packaging)

Wave X MASS RETAIL EDITION= Mass Retail release with the brand TITANIUM SERIES being prominent and Star Wars being secondary. The bubble packaging is larger and the ships can be found anywhere. To date, 5 Waves have been released.

THIS LIST IS IN ORDER OF RELEASE AND HASBRO SHIPPING WAVE!

To make things easier on everyone, here is a list of the Waves the Titanium Series Ships first appeared in for the modern release and when they were released (roughly). The numbers correspond with the variations below, and the numbers "**." indicate that the ship mentioned was either released in a previous Wave or is a repaint of another ship from another wave.

PICTURED AT THE SAN DIEGO COMIC CONVENTION, July 2006- 25 ships!
NOTE: The release dates of these ships have NOT been announced, and the waves they will appear in are unknown as well! Details subject to change.

-Titanium Single Pack Wave 1 MASS RETAIL Edition has White paint on it with Black paint around the cockpit. Ship has small painted "Titanium Series" logo on bottom of ship. This logo can be seen on the interior of the ship's "solar panels" when the ship is inside the package! Date Stamps= Unknown - Black Stand Rainbow Silver Paint

-Titanium Single Pack Wave 2 MASS RETAIL Edition has White paint on it with Black paint around the cockpit. Does not have Titanium Series painted stamp. Date Stamps= Unknown - Black Stand Rainbow Silver Paint

The BASES of the Ultras have photos in the flyer that show a new design for them! The top of the bottom of the base is WHITE (it's black right now) with "Star Wars" on either side of the middle, and the "Titanium Series DIE CAST" logo is in the center! The Droid Tri-Fighter AND the ARC-170 are shown with this new base!

I have been trying hard to not get caught up in the Titaniums enthusiasm, and I've been very conservative on the 3" ones - only getting a few that I never got in AF scale, or at least never got AF openers.

I weakened on the Ultras, but so far have only bought ones to keep boxed. My openers of the plastic AFs have kept me satisfied enough on these. But I may have to get openers of any Ultras that were never released as AFs. So far, that would be the Tri-Fighter and ARC-170, right?

I passed on the Ultra Mil Fal just on general principal over yet ANOTHER release of this vehicle, but I am re-thinking that now. I may have to try to find it. So far, stock on Ultras has been pretty good at my local WMs, so I'm hoping a Mil Fal will pop up some time.

I like to display boxed vehicles and I don't know how others feel, but I really dislike the packaging on the Ultras. I preferred the X-Wing and Rep. Cruiser packaging to the newer boxes. In addition to not liking the look, these packages seem very prone to damage - in some cases appearing to not even be properly assembled and sealed by the factory.

If I followed Warstar's list correctly, are the Jedi Starfighter, TIE Fighter, and VaderTIE the only ones not yet released? If I'm wrong, has anyone seen or purchased any of these three yet?

Terrific resource, Warstar.:yes:

Cool! :) They've made quite a few ships that never got the AF treatment, so you've probably got quite a few.

Correct, through the Snowspeeder and AT-AT are new molds and not just the AF molds re-hashed. The Slave 1, while technically a new mold, is really just the AF one without the ramp for the Han Solo in Carbonite mini-fig.

I passed on the Ultra Mil Fal just on general principal over yet ANOTHER release of this vehicle, but I am re-thinking that now. I may have to try to find it. So far, stock on Ultras has been pretty good at my local WMs, so I'm hoping a Mil Fal will pop up some time.

My local Target and K-Mart are the only stores that have stocked Ultras to date. I have yet to see them at my Wal-Mart- beyond the exclusive X-Wing and Republic Gunship that they already released.

I like to display boxed vehicles and I don't know how others feel, but I really dislike the packaging on the Ultras. I preferred the X-Wing and Rep. Cruiser packaging to the newer boxes. In addition to not liking the look, these packages seem very prone to damage - in some cases appearing to not even be properly assembled and sealed by the factory.

I hear ya. I wondered why the X-Wing and Republic Gunship packages had such large boxes but now it's obvious that they were prototype casing for the plastic covered bases.

If I followed Warstar's list correctly, are the Jedi Starfighter, TIE Fighter, and VaderTIE the only ones not yet released? If I'm wrong, has anyone seen or purchased any of these three yet?

Vader's TIE is due any day now and has been pictured on EE and other sites. The regular TIE Fighter and the Jedi Starfighter have not been listed in Ultra Waves or pictured anywhere as of yet- we don't even know which version of the Jedi Starfighter we'll get (AOTC or ROTS).

Being that the Ultras apparently didn't even make an appearance (apart for the Galactica) at the SDCC, who knows if we'll even get them? :(

The TS 6" Snowspeeder and AT-AT are not new molds, they are retooled from the Action Fleet molds.

Warstar

Aren't they both slightly bigger than the old AF ones? I thought they were, anyway...

And the AT-AT's main body, head, and legs are all new (well, re-tooled a bit but the doors/hatches are gone and the legs bend at the knees where the AF's didn't?) Plus the Snowspeeder added the blaster/engine detail panel while the AT-AT added the Speeder Bike Panel.

...I suppose the only ship that hasn't been re-tooled significantly from the AF molds is the Ultra X-Wing. The Rep Gunship lost the doors, the Slave 1 lost the ramp, the AT-AT and Snowspeeder I've already talked about (and I thought they were larger?)

Aren't they both slightly bigger than the old AF ones? I thought they were, anyway...I don't believe so, but I haven't paid close enough attention to be sure. It wouldn't be surprising if they were really, between material shrinkage issues and mold-to-mold copying, size changes will occur.

*SIGH*

Makes me wish I still had some of my old AF to compare to the Ultra's...

Ah well.

I'm still excited for the Falcon and Darth's TIE at least :)

YOU SUCK!

;)

I have all my old AFs, I just haven't put them next to my TS 6"ers (mainly because I haven't put those Titaniums anywhere specific yet, I'm totally out of space).

Hehe- I know ;)

I'm out of space, too. I have no place in my room to put my Wave 3 SW TF's- and my new Titanium shelf space is wearing thin as well...

I must have the collector's hybrid of OCD: ACD - Addiction/Compulsive Disorder. Because I am also desperately out of space, but STILL KEEP BUYING SCI-FI VEHICLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I know a long time collector that has any room. I'm dumping all of my carded figures and I'm still out of room.

I have literally NO shelf space left at this point, I have stuff in my kitchen, on top of my microwave, everywhere but the bathroom, I don't have a square inch of space left. I fear I'm going to need to box up a shelf of displayed stuff just to put my Titaniums on.

No problemo :) It's easy to keep a list up if it's started early (hence my old Un-Official Spawn Master List Web Site (http://home.pcisys.net/~warstar/spawnlst/splsthom.htm). Of course, I haven't updated the content of that in, oh, 8 years or so? Anyway- I plan on keeping the Titanium list up :)

Thank YOU for inspiring me to take a physical inventory of all my loose and packaged Titaniums to date...all I gotta' say is DANG...I've the bug- BAD...
